Don't really get this lineup tito threw out there tonight. Wilson is tougher on righties than lefties. Even if he wants to plays the same guys, he should have structured the lineup a little differently.

huh. The Rangers announcers pointed out that Salty lobs the ball back to the pitcher slowly to counteract his yip problem, and Andrus was probably trying to take 2nd on the slow lob, but Salty noticed him. That actually would have been a pretty heads up play had it worked.

I thought Lowrie looked good at third. That infield single was unplayable.

It was unplayable where Lowrie was playing. Might have been a single nonetheless, but he was way too deep.

Lowrie didn't know where to play on the run-scoring single. The throw came in, and he started toward getting in cutoff position, then decided against it; then he had to rush back to the bag to get the runner when Salty threw it to him.

Maybe I'm being too picky.

I'm also thinking back now to the game where Lowrie short-hopped a throw to the plate, and hit another runner with a throw.
